WE ATHER-STRIP;

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FREDERICK A. 3 PIA-- GER, of '.lhornburg,v in the county of Alle gheny and State of Pennsylvania, have in vented certain new and useful Improvements in \Vea-ther-Strips, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a new and improved wcather-strip, particularly designed for window-sashes, although it. may be advantaget-iusly employed for other closures.

In the accompanying drawing which illus trates application of my invention, Figure 1.

is a bro 011 perspective view embodying my invention ig. 2. a cross-sectional view; and Fig. 3. a similar view, showing a dill'erent application of my invention.

Referring to the drawing, 1' designates a portion of a window-sash located in and adapted to move in a sash groove '2 of a win The weather-stri as illustrated and as preferred, comprises a ooped or folded portion 4 and two members and 6, all made as an integral structure and of some suitable metal, as, for example, tin. The members 5 and 6 extendfrom the loopedor folded portion 4 in opposite directions, and lie indifferent vertical planes, the member 5, as clearly shown by the drawing, being set in advance or oliset with relation to the member 6.

7 designates a piece or strip of some. suitable yielding material, as cloth, felt or rub her. This piece 7 has an edge inserted into and firmly held by the portion 4, and is adapted to be turned so as to lie in contact.

with the member 6 as shown by Fig. 2, or into the position as shown by Fig. 3, in which latter case it is disposed in contact with the member 5.

In the form of Fig. 2 I have shown my invention a )plied to a window-sash in which the space between the said sash and the walls or wall of the groove 2 is very slight, permitting the insertion of only a very thin member, while the construction shown by Fig. 3.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 22, 1908.

Application filed December 21, 1907. Serial No. 407,496.

shows a comparatively wide space between the sash and a wall of the groove. When this construction is met with the weather strip is reversed and the member 6 is placed between the sash and a wall of the roove instead of the member 5, as shown in Fig. '2. From the foregoing it is clear that my invention may be effectively employed for closing the space between the sash and the wall or walls of the groove 2, although the width of the space varies to a considerable extent. In addition to clamping the yielding material 7, the looped or folded portion 4 acts as a spring to press the material into close contact with the sash.

The weather-strip described may be read-' "strip be removed when raising or lowering the window..

What I claim is l. A weather-strip having a looped or folded portion and two flat members extending front the said portion in opposite directions, one member being offset with relation to the other member.

2. A weatherstrip having a looped or folded portion, two llat members extending from said portion in opposite direetions, and a piece of yielding material held by the looped or folded portion.

. 3. A weather-strip having a. looped or folded portion and two llat members extending from said portion in oppositedirections, one member being offset with relation to the other member, and a piece of yielding material held by the looped or folded portion.

In testimony whereof I allix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
